d. Time Reporting/Approval Procedure

Send an email requesting approval for excused absences (furlough, vacation, or sick leave) to your immediate supervisor prior to the time requested for leave

e. Vacation, Sick and Administrative leaves

Vacation
All employees are encouraged to take vacations throughout the year and required to report all vacation hours accurately. If you have any questions about your or your employees’ request for vacation or vacation balance contact Paige Jacobson paige@email.arizona.edu. If you feel you cannot take vacation because your duties cannot be covered, please talk to your immediate supervisor to resolve this issue

The vacation accrual rate for full-time classified staff is:
• First 2 years = 11 days per year
• 3rd and 4th years = 16 days per year
• 5th year = 22 days per year
Vacation hours are accrued on a pay period basis. If the employee is less than full-time, the accrual rate is prorated

Administrative Leave
There are several types of administrative absence, some paid and some unpaid. These include days for bereavement, professional development, jury duty/material witness/victim service, university-designated emergencies, voting and sabbatical.www.hr.arizona.edu/policy/208
